Brother Xu (middle)

Brother Xu thought for a long time and went to the main courtyard to look for Yueyao.

The maid smiled and said, "Madame went to the princess's mansion and will be back in a while." Because the second princess is pregnant with a child, Yueyao often goes over to visit the second princess. In addition to talking to the second princess about the matters that should be paid attention to during pregnancy, he also chatted with the second princess. The second princess is very grateful for this, and the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good.

Yue Yao accompanied the second princess to the Earl's Mansion for a long time, and as soon as she returned to the main courtyard, she saw Brother Xu sitting there. Yue Yao saw Brother Xu'er's appearance and said, "Haven't figured it out yet? ”

Brother Xu shook his head and said, "Mother, since you said that I am not suitable for Miss Zhang, then forget it." Mother, I'm still young, and it's not too late to talk about kissing in a few days. ”

Yue Yao knew that Brother Xu still had some nostalgia in his heart, and thought for a while and said: "Back then, after Yongding Hou Shizi took the Chinese Wushuang Jinshi exam, he invited a matchmaker to go to the Ma family to propose relatives, and everyone thought that I would agree, but I refused. You know why? ”

Brother Xu had heard about this, and he also had questions at the time, but he didn't dare to ask. This will Yueyao take the initiative to talk about it, Brother Xu will naturally not let go of the opportunity, Yu asked, "Mother, why?" Why didn't you choose the prince of Yongding Hou but chose your father? ”

Yueyao said: "My mother didn't take a fancy to him. ”

Xu Gorna: Si: "Why? Yongding Hou Shizi is a civil and military double jinshi, it is said that the quality is also first-class, and his appearance is one in a million, why didn't you take a fancy to him? "It's a really strange thing.

Yueyao said with a smile: "Because my mother knows that he is not suitable for me." ”

Brother Xu still couldn't understand: "Why is my mother so sure that you are not suitable for him?" Whether it is suitable or not is only known if you have gotten along, why do you jump to conclusions if you haven't gotten along? ”

Yueyao said patiently: "The prince of Yongding Hou is a famous talent, and his temperament is extremely arrogant, and his mother is not too reckless. What do you think would be the result of such two people getting together to get together?

Brother Xu thought for a while and said, "Strong alliance." ”

Yue Yao shook her head with a smile and said, "Both of them are talented and arrogant people, and the last thing such a person wants to do is bow to others." When such two people get together, they either become resentful couples or strangers in the end. ”

Brother Xu was very puzzled: "But my mother is very good to my father, and everything follows my father." ”

Yue Yao laughed and said, "That's because you didn't see what your father did to your mother." Your father has done a lot of things for your mother, many things that ordinary people can't do, and your mother really accepted your father. Xu'er, the most correct thing my mother has done in her life is to marry your father. These words came from Yueyao's heart.

Brother Xu asked gossipingly: "Mother, what did Dad do for you to impress you!" "Brother Xu has never understood why his mother is such a talented girl, why she married such a big old man as his father. And his mother not only didn't hate his father, but was obedient to his father.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "You want to know and ask your father." ”

Brother Xu was defeated in an instant, and asked his father, who was determined to beat him up when the time came. However, after listening to Yueyao's words, Brother Xu was in a much better mood: "Mother, the young and the old are orderly, the second brother has not said kiss, let's talk about my business after the second brother gets married!" "His mother even dared to disobey the holy decree in order to prevent her sister from marrying Erchengzi, and now the eldest sister is living a sweet and sweet life, all of which is the credit of her mother. So Brother Xu thinks that since Yueyao thinks

Miss Zhang is not suitable for him, so there must be a reason for her.

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "That's not possible, your second brother is now studying abroad and I don't know when I will come back, and I can't delay your marriage because of your second brother." ”

Brother Xu is very envious of the second brother who is studying abroad.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "I hope that Fei Ge'er is here, and he doesn't have to worry about you when he is in his mother." "Brother Xu'er is not afraid of An Zhichen, but Brother Fei.

Brother Xu thought that Brother Fei always made him suffer dumb losses, only to find that Brother Fei was not living a good life in his life, and when Brother Fei came back, he was afraid that he would never go back.

Yue Yao smiled: "Okay, my mother won't force you, I will give you a month, and I will wait for you to come back next time to see the girl of the Ping family." ”

Brother Xu knew that his mother must decide something, so there was no possibility of changing it.

Yue Yao advised: "There is no shadow of the matter with the Ping family, don't talk about it, otherwise you will ruin the reputation of the girl." ”

Brother Xu felt that Yue Yao was underestimating him too much: "Mother, I'm not a three-year-old child. ”

Yue Yao sneered: "If you are as sensible as your second brother, your mother will have to worry about it!" Even if your second brother is not there, if your second brother is here, my mother will be much easier. "When Brother Fei was there, Brother Xu was honest and didn't dare to make a fuss.

Brother Xu immediately stopped talking.

On the way back to the barracks, Brother Xu ran into Meng Cheng. After Meng Cheng greeted Brother Xu, he asked tentatively: "An Xu, I went to your house to ask you for a drink the day before yesterday, and your porter said that you had something to do."

Brother Xu smiled and said, "Well, it's a bit of a thing. As for anything, even if it was a friend and a family matter, he didn't have to tell Meng Cheng.

Meng Cheng was a little embarrassed.

There are two days off in a month. Meng Cheng and Brother Xu went out of the barracks together and said, "An Xu, if it's okay in the past two days, let's make an appointment with Wen Ning to go to Hongfu Restaurant together." I've heard that there are several new dishes in the restaurant. ”

Brother Xu thought of Yue Yao's words, shook his head and said, "No need, I still have something to do when I go back." ”

Meng Cheng said with a smile: "It won't be for the sake of marriage, right?" I heard that Mrs. Lian has been looking for a daughter-in-law for you all this time! "Actually, Meng Cheng is very good: Si, his sister is good in all aspects, why didn't Brother Xu take a fancy it? He's already created so many opportunities.

Brother Xu shook his head and said, "No, it's something at home." "I can't escape this time when I go back, cough, just look at each other, it's a big deal to say that I didn't look at it.

Meng Cheng looked at Brother Xu'er's preoccupied appearance, his mind changed, and asked, "Is it your father and mother forcing you to get married?" ”

Brother Xu was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said: "My mother is the most reasonable, how could she do such a thing?" "Her mother has always respected their opinion, where would they do such a thing.

Meng Cheng smiled and apologized.

When Brother Xu returned home, he saw that the porter was all beaming, and he didn't ask yet. The porter took the initiative to say: "Sansanye, the princess gave birth to a young lady." ”

Yueyao was very happy to know that it was a girl, and bluntly said that the first flowering and then the best fruit. An Zhichen didn't think too much, he only played the princess to give birth, but he didn't worry about not having a grandson to hug. And Brother Sheng'er is a father for the first time, and his son and daughter are like baby blisters, all three of them have this attitude, and the subordinates are naturally beaming.

Brother Xu said unhappily: "Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing? "He's been an uncle.

The porter was a little confused, Brother Xu is an uncle, not a father, where do you need to be specially informed. Of course, the porter thought so in his heart, and he definitely couldn't say this: "The princess was also born yesterday, and the uncle and the lady may know that the young master is coming back today, so they didn't send someone to inform the young master!" ”

Brother Xu reluctantly accepted this reason and went to the princess's mansion instead.

Brother Sheng is a father for the first time, and this will still be exciting. Seeing Brother Xu, he said with a smile: "Third brother, come and see Sister Xu." ”

Brother Xu looked at his niece who hadn't grown up yet, and he really felt very ugly. But you can't say this in front of his brother, otherwise you will definitely be criticized. Brother Xu is strange, when he was young, his eldest brother was always bullied by him, but since his father came back, he has only been obedient and obedient in front of his eldest brother: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be a father." ”

Brother Sheng looked at Brother Xu and said, "Mother gave you a good match for the girl of the Ping family, come back this time, you can go over and have a look!" After seeing it, I quickly settled down, so that my mother always has to worry about your affairs. "Brother Sheng didn't know what Brother Xu had done before, and he knew that he knew that it was estimated that Brother Xu'er would be beaten up for a fat.

Xu Geerna: Si: "What if the Heijia girl is not good?" ”

Brother Sheng glanced at Brother Xu: "When has my mother's vision ever been bad?" "If it's his father, then he has to weigh it. But since it's his mother's favorite, it's definitely a good one.

Brother Xu touched his nose a few times and said, "Hmm." ”

Yue Yao was very relieved to hear that Brother Xu took the initiative to meet the Pingjia girl, and said: "Xinrong, this child is really good, my mother believes that you will definitely like it." "Zhi'er Mo Ruomu, Yueyao knows Brother Xu'er very well, if it is a decent girl, Brother Xu will definitely not like it. Because Ping Xinrong is a little daughter, she is innocent and cute, and she has a good temper. Yueyao felt that Brother Xu should be able to meet Xinrong's eyes.

Brother Xu nodded and said, "What my mother likes must be good." ”

Yueyao said with a smile: "Nonsense, your daughter-in-law is playing with you for the rest of her life, that is, no matter how good your mother thinks, if you don't like it, it won't work." I'll see you tomorrow, and if you really feel bad, we'll look for it slowly. ”

Brother Xu was a little moved, who married a daughter-in-law was not decided directly after the parents took a fancy to it, so his mother was so easy to speak: "Okay." ”

Because the next day was Sister Yuan's third baptism, Yueyao had a breath with Mrs. Ping, so when Sister Yuan baptized the third ceremony, Ping's brought Miss Xinrong over.

Brother Xu looked at the girl standing next to Mrs. Ping of Jingning Mansion. The girl was dressed in goose-yellow clothes, her eyebrows were crooked, her small nose was slightly upturned, her face was like white jade, and her big black eyes were shining, as if she could speak.

Brother Xu is not a person who particularly values appearance, but if his future wife is beautiful, it is naturally the best

Because this is the baptismal rite and there are many guests, it is impossible to give two people the opportunity to be alone. This time, it is to let the two of them meet and see if they can match each other.

After a while, Yueyao heard that someone from the palace was coming. Yue Yao originally thought that she had rewarded her with something, but she didn't expect that it was Emperor Cheng's holy decree to give Sister Ying the title of county lord.

After Yueyao heard this holy decree, she felt more and more that her guess would not be wrong. I'm afraid that the biological mother of the second princess is a very special one for Emperor Cheng, otherwise she won't be so protected by Emperor Li.

The second princess got the news and cried with joy. With the identity of the county lord, Sister Yu'er's road will be smoother than others in the future.

Yue Yao said with a smile: "People in confinement, you can't shed tears, otherwise you will be prone to eye pain when you get old." "For Yueyao, whether the granddaughter is the county lord is not a heavy play, the most important thing is to teach this child well.

The second princess wiped her tears, and then she was a little embarrassed, she was the princess of the Cheng family, and she should have been more calm than her mother-in-law, but unfortunately, this comparison, her princess became scum.

Yue Yao didn't stay long, and soon went out to greet the guests. The guests knew that Sister Yu had been canonized as the county lord, and they all had guesses in their hearts, and they all stepped forward to congratulate Yueyao.

Yue Yao took care of the affairs in the princess's mansion, and then returned to the earl's mansion. On the way back, I couldn't help but muttered to Xiang Wei: "I thought that I could leave everything alone after marrying my daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect it to be even more tired." "Now not only is she playing in the Earl's Mansion, but even the princess's mansion has to look for her, Yue Yao really feels hard.

Xiang Wei said with a smile: "Let Brother Xu quickly marry a daughter-in-law and come back, so that you don't have to be so tired." "I've only heard of those ladies who hold on to the housekeeper's power, but I haven't heard of those who don't want to play the housekeeper's right

Yueyao looked at Xiang Wei and muttered, "I hope too!" But Brother Xu himself has to marry willingly! "The daughter-in-law who is willing to marry home is completely different from the daughter-in-law forced by her parents to marry. If she wants to play a daughter-in-law and come back to help her share the housework, she won't be so anxious.

Xiang Wei smiled and said, "It's a blessing to be reborn in you. ”

Not long after Yue Yao returned to the main courtyard, Brother Xu came to find her. Yue Yao asked, "What do you think of meeting the Hei family girl today?" ”

Brother Xu thinks it's okay.

Yueyao was unhappy: "It's good if it's good, it's not good if it's not good, what does it mean to be okay?" "It's the most annoying thing to say.

Brother Xu lowered his head and said after a long time: "Mother is in charge!"

Yue Yao sighed slightly and said, "If you don't really want to marry someone, then forget it, you don't have to hurt other people's girls." ”

Brother Xu was not happy when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean by hurting her?" Mother, where are you? "He's not bad at anything, how can marrying him be a harm!

Yue Yao said: "Compare your heart to your heart, if your brother-in-law treated your sister the same way you did today, it doesn't matter if you marry or not, what will you do?" ”

Brother Xu didn't want to think about it and said, "Then you definitely can't get married." ”

Yue Yao nodded and said, "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself." People are also pampered by their parents, why should they play to be so idle as you. ”

Brother Xu knew what Yue Yao meant, and thought for a while and said, "Mother, let me think about it again!" I'll give you an answer tomorrow. ”

Ping Shi also asked Ping Xinrong on the other side: "How do you feel?" If you feel bad, tell your aunt directly. ”

Ping Xinrong said a little shyly: "It's good." "I can't talk about liking it, and I'm not a nymphomaniac, I like it when I see each other, but he feels very good about Brother Xu.

Seeing this, Ping smiled and said, "If you think it's good, it's done." Although Mrs. Lian seems to be a little indifferent, she is actually a person who can't get along with her. ”

Ping Xinrong's face was a little flushed. Her mother told her all the benefits of marrying into Pingyang Bofu, and she had no opinion on herself, but now she has no opinion when she sees people.

Brother Xu was still thinking about it seriously, and Xiang Wei found him. Xiang Wei naturally didn't tell Brother Xu what Yue Yao said, but told Brother Xu about Tingzheng and the Lin family.

Because of the Lin family's disrespect for Yueyao, the four brothers and sisters of Brother Xu hated the Lin family, but they didn't know much at that time. This time, after listening to Xiang Wei's words, Brother Xu's face was very ugly.

After Xiang Wei finished speaking, he said: "Brother Xu, your father and I both thought that the Lin family was very good that day, and your mother felt that the Lin family was not suitable for your uncle, but it turned out that your mother's vision was accurate." What Xiang Wei meant in her words was that Yueyao felt that the girl of the Zhang family was not suitable for Brother Xu, and those two people must have a bad life.

Brother Xu remembered what Yue Yao told him last time, and I have to say that his mother's vision is still very accurate

Xiang Wei saw that Brother Xu was loose, and added strength: "Brother Xu, you also know that your mother is a person, she is not a person who only values her family background, she hopes that your brothers and sisters will live well." Brother Xu, your mother won't harm you. In order to pick a girl you like, your mother has been picking for half a year, and finally took a fancy to this Xinrong girl. Brother Xu, this girl from the Ping family is very affectionate, and she is very suitable for you. If you miss it, you won't know if you find such a suitable girl in the Year of the Monkey, and your mother will have to work hard at that time. You don't know,

Now your mother is in charge of the Earl's Palace, and she has to take care of the affairs of the Princess's Mansion, which is very hard. "Xiang Wei almost said that Brother Xu is not a filial son.

Brother Xu actually has a good impression of Miss Zhang, and he has already lost that little bit of thought after being tossed by his family. Brother Xu also knows very well that his mother loves him, and he is his father, where will he consult his opinion and directly settle the family matter.

Brother Xu thought about it for a night, and said to Yueyao early the next morning: "Mother, go and say kiss!" I will definitely treat the Heike girl well in the future. ”

Yue Yao asked: "If you are married, you have to be single-minded, but you can't be half-hearted." Can you do it? If it can be done, the mother will let people propose. If you can't, wait until you've calmed down. ”

Brother Xu nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will be wholeheartedly devoted to the girl of the Ping family." ”

When Yue Yao heard this, she was relieved. Both parties were interested, and the marriage was soon decided, and the wedding date was set for February next year.

Seeing that Brother Xu was very calm, Yue Yao was still a little worried, and said to An Zhichen: "Heyue, did you say that Brother Xu didn't let go, and the reason why he married the Ping family was completely due to our threat?" "An Zhichen's threat, to be exact.

An Zhichen didn't care: "The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, who is not like this." Seeing that Yueyao was still frowning, she said helplessly: "Don't worry, Brother Xu is not Tingzheng, he won't drill the horns." And if I guessed correctly, he just felt fresh to the girl of the Zhang family for a while, and it was not necessary for her. If you can't burn Brother Xu's reluctance, where will she agree to marry the Heijia girl. You forget the day

What did he do when he passed him to his uncle's house? That day, Brother Xu was unwilling to succeed and threatened him with death. If Brother Xu really had to marry the girl from the Zhang family, he would definitely not compromise so quickly, and he would have fought with him to the end.

Yue Yao thought about Brother Xu'er's performance for a while, and felt that what An Zhichen said was very reasonable. However, just in case, Yueyao decided to let Brother Xu go to Ping's house more in the future to cultivate and cultivate feelings.

Brother Xu returned to the barracks, and without asking the people around him, he talked about the marriage.

Meng Chengcheng's mansion was not deep enough, and when he heard this, he asked in a lost voice: "Are you married?" When was this? How did I not know? After speaking, he realized that he had lost his temper, and Yu remedied: "We are such good friends, you don't tell us about such a big thing, it's too uninteresting." ”

Wen Ning heard this, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Ah Cheng is right, you didn't tell us about such a big thing, and you didn't treat us as friends at all." ”

Brother Xu said with a smile: "No, my mother only invites her own relatives, and no one else is invited, but I will definitely invite you when I get married next year." ”

Wen Ning asked, "Whose girl is it?" ”

Brother Xu smiled and said, "The five girls of the Ping family. ”

As soon as Meng Cheng saw Brother Xu'er's 7 expressions, he knew that he was very satisfied with the five girls of the Ping family, and he couldn't say more words in his heart. Brother Xu didn't decide on a marriage, so he naturally had to fight for his sister. Now that Brother Xu is married, it is in vain to say anything. Meng Cheng thought that his sister would definitely be very sad when she knew about this.

Brother Xu saw Meng Cheng's 7 expression, and said strangely: "What's wrong? Look at your face is not good, is it too tired at home to rest? ”

Meng Cheng shook his head with a smile: "It's okay." ”
